Max Fridman

Max Fridman is a European espionage comic series published by Lizard Edizioni between 2000 and 2008, centered on a veteran spy navigating Cold War intrigue. The series is most closely associated with Italian writer and artist Vittorio Giardino, whose elegant, detailed linework and mature, character-driven storytelling define its atmosphere. Though it had no standard issue run—appearing instead as graphic albums—it stands as a refined example of the continental thriller tradition, admired for its nuanced protagonist and sophisticated plotting.
